[0002] With the booming development of the photovoltaic industry, the manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules has attracted much attention. A photovoltaic module is assembled from multiple photovoltaic panels through a series of processes, and the cutting process is one of the key steps in photovoltaic panel production. The precision and efficiency of cutting directly affect the quality and production cost of photovoltaic modules.

[0003] Currently, photovoltaic module production typically uses cutting discs for cutting. However, these cutting devices generally have a problem: the photovoltaic panel needs to be fixed in the left and right directions before the next cutting operation can be carried out, which results in low cutting continuity and affects cutting efficiency.

[0004] To address this, a cutting device for photovoltaic module production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: The present invention provides a cutting device for photovoltaic module production, including a cutting table, a moving mechanism is provided on the cutting table, a right-angle plate is fixedly connected to the moving end of the moving mechanism, the moving mechanism drives the right-angle plate to move in the horizontal and vertical directions, a cutting component is provided on the right-angle plate, and a lifting plate is slidably connected to the right-angle plate;

[0007] Two clamping plates are slidably connected to the cutting table. A first wedge plate is fixed to each of the bottom ends of the lifting plate. A second wedge plate is provided on the clamping plate. The bottom slopes of the two first wedge plates are arranged opposite each other to form a "figure-eight" shape. The bottom slope of the first wedge plate is adapted to and slides in contact with the top slope of the second wedge plate. A spring is fixed between the second wedge plate and the cutting table. The extension and contraction direction of the spring is parallel to the sliding direction of the clamping plate.

[0008] Preferably, an adjustment assembly is connected to the clamping plate. The adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate located on one side opposite to the two clamping plates. A screw is threaded onto the connecting plate, passing through the connecting plate and rotatably connected to the clamping plate. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the second wedge plate.

[0009] Preferably, two guide posts are slidably connected to the connecting plate, the two guide posts are respectively located on both sides of the screw, and the guide posts pass through the connecting plate and are fixedly connected to the clamping plate.

[0010] Preferably, the cutting assembly includes a motor fixed to the right-angle plate, and a cutting disc is fixed to the output shaft of the motor.

[0011] Preferably, a bracket is fixedly connected to the cutting table, and a vertical first groove is formed on the bracket. A first slider is fixedly connected to the lifting plate, and the first groove and the first slider are slidably connected.

[0012] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a linear drive member fixed to the bracket, a lifting member fixed to the moving end of the linear drive member, the lifting end of the lifting member being fixed to the right-angle plate, and the moving direction of the linear drive member being parallel to the sliding direction of the clamping plate.

This, in turn, brings the two clamping plates closer together. When the inclined surfaces of the first and second wedge plates disengage, and the side surfaces of the first and second wedge plates contact each other, the two clamping plates clamp the sides of the photovoltaic module. As the right-angle plate continues to descend, the distance between the two clamping plates remains constant, and the cutting module cuts the photovoltaic module.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a cutting device for photovoltaic module production, including a cutting table 1, a moving mechanism on the cutting table 1, a right-angle plate 5 fixedly connected to the moving end of the moving mechanism, the moving mechanism driving the right-angle plate 5 to move in the horizontal and vertical directions, a cutting component 16 on the right-angle plate 5, and a lifting plate 6 slidably connected to the right-angle plate 5.

[0024] Two clamping plates 11 are slidably connected to the cutting table 1. First wedge plates 7 are fixed to the bottom ends of the lifting plate 6 respectively. Second wedge plates 8 are provided on the clamping plates 11. The bottom slopes of the two first wedge plates 7 are arranged opposite each other to form a "V-shape". The bottom slope of the first wedge plate 7 is adapted to and slides in contact with the top slope of the second wedge plate 8. A spring 9 is fixed between the second wedge plate 8 and the cutting table 1. The extension and retraction direction of the spring 9 is parallel to the sliding direction of the clamping plates 11.

[0025] During production, the photovoltaic module is transferred to the cutting table 1, positioning it directly below the cutting component 16. A moving mechanism lowers the right-angle plate 5, causing the cutting component 16 and the lifting plate 6 to descend synchronously. During descent, the first wedge plate 7 presses against the second wedge plate 8 with its inclined surface, bringing the two second wedge plates 8 closer together. This, in turn, brings the two clamping plates 11 closer together. When the inclined surfaces of the first wedge plate 7 and the second wedge plate 8 disengage, and the side of the first wedge plate 7 contacts the side of the second wedge plate 8, the two clamping plates 11 clamp the photovoltaic module tightly on both sides. As the right-angle plate 5 continues to descend, the distance between the two clamping plates 11 remains constant, and the cutting component 16 cuts the photovoltaic module. This invention, through the coordinated movement of the moving mechanism, the lifting plate 6, the first wedge plate 7, and the second wedge plate 8, enables the cutting component 16 to clamp the photovoltaic module simultaneously during its descent, effectively improving the continuity and efficiency of the cutting process.

[0026] Furthermore, in the horizontal direction, the clamping plate 11 is offset from the cutting component 16, so that the clamping plate 11 does not affect the cutting of the cutting component 16.

[0027] In some alternative embodiments, an adjustment assembly is connected to the clamping plate 11. The adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate 12, which is located on the opposite side of the two clamping plates 11. A screw 13 is threaded onto the connecting plate 12, which passes through the connecting plate 12 and is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 11. The connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the second wedge plate 8.

[0028] In use, by rotating screw 13, the distance between connecting plate 12 and clamping plate 11 is changed, thereby changing the initial distance between the two clamping plates 11, so as to clamp photovoltaic modules of different widths and adapt to different models of photovoltaic modules.

[0029] In some alternative embodiments, two guide posts 14 are slidably connected to the connecting plate 12. The two guide posts 14 are located on both sides of the screw 13, and the guide posts 14 penetrate the connecting plate 12 and are fixedly connected to the clamping plate 11.

[0030] By setting guide posts 14, the stability of movement is improved when adjusting the position of clamping plate 11 by rotating screws 13.

[0031] In some alternative embodiments, the cutting assembly 16 includes a motor fixed to the right-angle plate 5, with a cutting disc fixed to the output shaft of the motor.

[0032] The photovoltaic modules are cut by rotating the cutting disc driven by a motor.

[0033] In some alternative embodiments, a bracket is fixedly connected to the cutting table 1, and a vertical first groove is provided on the bracket. A first slider is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 6, and the first groove and the first slider are slidably connected.

[0034] Furthermore, a T-shaped slider is fixed to the right-angle plate 5, and a T-shaped groove is provided on the top of the lifting plate 6, with the T-shaped slider slidingly connected to the T-shaped groove.

[0035] When the moving mechanism drives the right-angle plate 5 to descend, the first slider descends along the first groove, thereby realizing the descent of the lifting plate 6. When the moving mechanism drives the right-angle plate 5 to move horizontally, the lifting plate 6 will not move horizontally with it due to the restriction of the first slider and the first groove. At this time, the T-shaped slider on the right-angle plate 5 slides along the T-shaped groove.

[0036] In some alternative embodiments, the moving mechanism includes a linear drive 2 fixed to the bracket, a lifting member 4 fixed to the moving end of the linear drive 2, the lifting end of the lifting member 4 fixed to the right angle plate 5, and the moving direction of the linear drive 2 being parallel to the sliding direction of the clamping plate 11.

[0037] The linear drive component 2 can be one of the following structures that realize linear reciprocating movement: cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, linear motor, motor screw, etc. In this embodiment, the linear drive component 2 is a linear motor, the lifting component 4 is an electric push rod, a moving block 3 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the linear motor, the moving block 3 is fixedly connected to the cylinder end of the electric push rod, and the telescopic rod of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the right angle plate 5.

[0038] In some alternative embodiments, a second slider is fixed to the bottom of the clamping plate 11, a second groove is provided on the cutting table 1, the second slider is slidably connected to the second groove, and the second wedge plate 8 is slidably in contact with the top of the cutting table 1.

[0039] In some alternative embodiments, the spring 9 is located on one side opposite to the two second wedge plates 8, one end of the spring 9 is fixed to the side wall of the second wedge plate 8, and the other end is fixed to the support plate 10, which is fixed to the cutting table 1.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, flexible anti-slip pads 15 are fixed to opposite sides of the two clamps 11.

[0041] In this embodiment, the flexible anti-slip pad 15 is a rubber pad.

[0042] In use, the photovoltaic module is transported to the cutting table 1 (or manually placed on the cutting table 1) so that the cutting position is directly below the cutting component 16. The lifting component 4 drives the right-angle plate 5 to descend, so that the cutting component 16 and the lifting plate 6 descend synchronously. During the descent, the first wedge plate 7 presses the second wedge plate 8 with its inclined surface, so that the two second wedge plates 8 are brought closer to each other, thereby driving the two clamping plates 11 to move closer to each other. When the inclined surfaces of the first wedge plate 7 and the second wedge plate 8 separate, and the side of the first wedge plate 7 contacts the side of the second wedge plate 8, the two clamping plates 11 clamp the two sides of the photovoltaic module. As the right-angle plate 5 continues to descend, the distance between the two clamping plates 11 no longer changes, and the cutting component 16 continues to descend to cut the photovoltaic module. Then, the linear drive component 2 drives the cutting component 16 to move horizontally to realize the cutting operation. After cutting, the lifting component 4 drives the right-angle plate 5 to rise, causing the first wedge plate 7 to rise. Since the first wedge plate 7 rises over a certain period of time, the spring 9 is not released instantaneously, but rather the elastic force is released gradually, causing the spring 9 to push the second wedge plate 8 to reset. The bottom slope of the first wedge plate 7 is directly opposite the top slope of the second wedge plate 8.
